Based on the true story of sex researchers in the 1950s, Lizzy Caplan plays Virginia Johnson, the assistant to William Masters, portrayed by Michael Sheen.

Caplan offers this glimpse into the upcoming season, “Season 2, their story as a team seems to unfold.”

Let’s look at what we know so far about what’s unfolding in the next season.

1. The Final Moment of the Last Season is Revisited

At the very end of the first season, a defeated Masters comes to Johnson’s doorstep and says, “I have nothing to offer you except maybe the truth: I finally realized that there is one thing that I can’t live without — it’s you. You.”

The second season does address this intense scene and sexual tension between the sex researching team.

The intimate pose is a significant change from the suits and ties worn in last season’s marketing campaign (see above), and signals the evolution of Masters and Johnson’s relationship from professional work partners to romantic lovers.
